I went up to the Red Power Roundup today. Me and my dad rode our motorcycles up. It was about a three hour ride. I should have brought my 504! But anyways I snapped a couple pictures of some of the cool stuff I saw. Lots more there to see. If any of you guys have some pictures to share feel free to post them on here! I'll be up there again on Friday with my grandpa.

The International Harvester Garands are awesome. In my experience they fetch the highest prices for authentic WWII Garands. It's too bad this "president" of ours shut down surplus Garands from being sold to civilians, who knows if there were any more IH Garands we could have got.
 
Found this unique home brew, owner is calling it a "Super W 2", he welded a box to the underside of the transmission, gotta find out what gear he is driving off of and what he used for the front axle.

Very impressive!
Looks like the tractor has been made symmetric, unlike the Super A it has been derived from. What kind of differential housings and shafts were used?
 
While there's very little I can find to agree with this president on, I would clarify and and inform that Garands are still available through the government's CMP sales program.

You can buy an M1 right from the US Gov't. It's called the Civilan Marksmanship Program. You can mail order or walk into one of the two stores (Anniston, AL - Port Clinton, OH). You will need a series of documents to prove your age & citizenship as well as participation in a shooting event / training and an affiliated club membership.

They have a quantity of IHC garands that will be released for sale late this year at the earliest and collectors are chomping at the bit.

I believe the original barrels for IH Garands were made by High Standard and were considered among the most accurate of the Garands. Of course most have been through arsenal rebuilds, so you never know what you get for parts on them.

They will be marked LMR with a punch mark after it.

The barrels for International Harvester Garands were LMR, which stands for Line Materials Co. http://www.scott-duff.com/WhoHowManyWhen.htm

A few other things that are worth noting: LMR barrels are very good but the VAR barrels are the ones sought after by competition shooters. They were made in Denmark in the 1960s, GREAT shooting barrels. LMR barrels are in high demand but more so for collectors putting together an IHC Garand.

International Harvester did not make M1 Garand rifles for WWII, they made them in the 1950s for the Korean war.

While International Harvester Garands are cool, barring the odd ball super rare collectables, the Winchesters are the most sought after. Second place is a toss-up between International Harvester and Harrington & Richardson (although H&R usually wins). Last place goes to Springfield Armory.

I don’t compete in service rifle matches anymore but the above was true a few years back when I was still active.

Speaking of competition... I'll be attempting to keep them in the 10 ring @ Perry this year... With both the M1 and Springfield (03A3).
